The richest man

In recent years, the global economic industry has been very good, and the penetration rate of smartphones has become higher and higher.

The penetration rate of smartphones in China has reached 70%, ranking 15th in the world.From the overall situation, the penetration rate of smartphones in my country is not too high. On the one hand, because of the relatively large population base in our country, some of the elderly and children cannot use smartphones.On the other hand, our country has a vast land area, and in some remote places, there is no network coverage, and these places are not suitable for using smartphones.

The penetration rate of smartphones in the United States is not very high, only 77%.

The total population of Africa is 58300 million, accounting for 11.8% of the world's total population.

The market here is actually huge. In previous lives, almost [-] million smartphones were sold in Africa every year.

Although Africa is poor, it still has purchasing power.

Legend Technology has recently started to make efforts in Africa and developed a mobile phone with tanning function - Blackmi mobile phone.

The black rice mobile phone is of high quality and low price, and because it has a self-tanning function, it has been greatly sought after by Africans since it was launched, but it has swept the whole of Africa in just a few months and has become the most popular smartphone.

Moreover, the black rice mobile phone also has very good sales all over the world, and many black people have bought the black rice mobile phone Pro.

The major mobile phone manufacturers never imagined that a smartphone with self-tanning function could become a hit.The smartphone industry is too complicated, and Legend Technology almost wants to catch all users of all skin colors in the world.

……

The more popular smartphones are, the better the revenue of mobile Internet software will be.

Legendary Technology's revenue and profits are getting higher and higher.

The data generated by users every day can be called astronomical.

Recently, the cloud computing service launched by Legend Technology has been blown up by the investment community, and the revenue has grown extremely rapidly.

Since Legendary Technology Co., Ltd. has been involved in the research and development of cloud computing for a long time, the technology accumulated in the field of cloud computing is far ahead of other companies, and it can be called the "global cloud computing leader". Safe and reliable cloud computing services based on database and machine learning help enterprises easily access the cloud and help customers realize digital transformation.

To give a simple example, to develop a software, you only need to subscribe to the cloud service of Legend Technology Company, so you don’t need to buy separate servers and bandwidth, and you don’t need to spend hosting fees.

This saves a lot of cost for the enterprise.

In terms of flexibility, users can add their own configurations online in real time, and there is a large space for expansion.

In 2015, Legend Technology Company's "cloud computing" exploded, almost monopolizing 90% of the market. If in the future, most enterprises or individuals are using "Legend Cloud", imagine how big this market is.

Therefore, the investment community is very optimistic about the future potential of "cloud computing".

Major technology companies have also begun to get involved in cloud computing one after another, wanting to get a share of it.

However, the "Legendary Cloud" of Legend Technology Company is very powerful. Not to mention the leading technology, the price is not very expensive. Many companies or individuals choose to purchase "Legendary Cloud" services, especially those start-up companies. The existence of "Legendary Cloud" , is undoubtedly a boon, allowing them to save a lot of money.

The data center is the infrastructure for the development of the cloud computing industry and an important platform between cloud service providers and users.

Therefore, Legendary Technology has been building data centers non-stop over the years.A large data center often costs billions of dollars.It also costs a lot of money to maintain the data center every year, especially the power consumption, which is very alarming.The annual electricity consumption of domestic data centers is about 2 billion kWh, accounting for 045% of the electricity consumption of the whole society.

In the future, there will only be more and more data, which requires the establishment of more data centers.

On the one hand, we need to solve the problem of power consumption, and on the other hand, we need to solve the problem of storage methods.

Not to mention power consumption, it is natural to build more power stations.

However, the way of data storage, producing more hard disks and expanding cloud services, is not the best solution to the problem in terms of economy and feasibility. Legend Technology is committed to developing DNA-based data storage!
"Nature" has chosen, in all possible ways, to store an organism's genetic information in DNA.If DNA already stores data in organisms in the form of nucleotides, and it's so small, what better way to do it?

DNA is very small, very stable, and never gets knocked out, they've been there since the beginning of life.

A nucleotide can contain four values, so they are similar to two binary bits.

A typical human cell has 60 billion base pairs, arranged in a double helix in the chromosome.Scientists estimate that DNA in a single cell can encode 1.6 gigabytes, expanding to 10 zettabytes in an entire human body. 100 zettabytes is more data than all humankind has produced in the entire epoch.

Scientists estimate that, under the most ideal conditions, DNA can theoretically live up to 100 million years.This means that by utilizing DNA - we can store all the data generated in the world for a very long time "historically" in the size of a shoebox.

Zhang Jun has invested more than 500 billion U.S. dollars in the research and development of biotechnology. Nearly [-] engineers and scientists can achieve a lot of results every year, and have even developed very powerful genetic tools—" "Legend Gene Editor", that is: legendary gene editor, can precisely change the DNA of animals, plants, and microorganisms.This technology will revolutionize the molecular life sciences, opening up new opportunities for plant breeding, helping to develop new cancer treatments, and potentially making the dream of curing genetic diseases a reality.

Of course, this has brought great help to the research and deciphering of DNA secrets by Legendary Technology, and also helped Legendary Technology to develop DNA-based data storage tools.

It won't be long before Legendary Technology Corporation may launch the sixth generation of computers - biological computers.

In fact, Legend Technology has already developed a gene chip in the laboratory, which is actually not difficult. As early as 1997, the world's first whole-genome chip-the yeast whole-genome chip containing 6166 genes was released at Stanford University. Brown laboratory was completed, so that the gene chip technology was quickly applied in the world.

In fact, DNA storage devices have already been developed, and the size is about the size of two containers. However, to store more than a few MB of data, it will cost thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars, and it will take more than 20 hours. , which is currently not practical.

Despite the high cost of DNA storage, Legendary Technologies is excited to devote more energy to researching it.With the development of biotechnology, the cost of DNA storage will inevitably show a sharp decline. Take the cost of gene sequencing as an example. The first plan to discover the human gene sequence cost 27 billion U.S. dollars and 15 years, but more than ten years have passed Now, for a $1000 fee to the company, you can get the results of your genetic analysis within weeks.

Gene sequencing technology has become quite democratized.

Come to think of it, the same goes for NDA storage technology.

Legend Technology is confident that it will commercialize DNA storage devices within 10 years.

With DNA storage and DNA chip, it will definitely promote the development of "biological computer"!
Legend Technology is expected to dominate the new generation of computer market again! ! !
……

In view of the recent rapid growth of the "Legendary Cloud" business and the huge power consumption of the data center, Zhang Jun can't help but increase investment again to promote the expansion of photovoltaic and wind power!

Too much money, if you don't spend it, it's just a bunch of numbers.

While investing in photovoltaic and wind power, Zhang Jun asked China Energy to continue building large-scale super charging stations across the country.

Zhonghua Energy Company has built many super charging stations directly in prosperous areas. The underground parking lot is used for parking and charging, and the rest of the floors are places for leisure, entertainment, shopping and dining.

As long as enough charging stations and charging piles are built, users of new energy vehicles will not have to worry about having no place to charge their cars, which will definitely promote the development of new energy vehicles.

but……

"Boss, Professor Yu Lianggong of China Energy Corporation has proposed a new idea. Instead of building super charging stations on a large scale, it is better to develop "photovoltaic roads" and use wireless charging technology to enable new energy vehicles to charge while driving... Shangguan Muye came to Zhang Jun and reported.

"Photovoltaic highway?!"

When Zhang Jun heard this idea, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.

"This idea is good! Interesting! It not only meets the land occupation requirements of solar photovoltaic technology, but also provides electric energy for electric vehicles driving on it. By the way, is the photovoltaic road feasible? Can it withstand the heavy pressure of the car and cause damage? ?” Zhang Jun asked.

Shangguan Muye replied: "The expert group has studied it, and the photovoltaic road is feasible. According to the design of the expert group, the photovoltaic road surface will be composed of three layers: the surface layer, the middle layer, and the lower layer. The surface layer is composed of light-transmitting concrete, which has high strength. With a light transmittance of more than 90%, its technical indicators and traffic safety factor should both exceed those of the currently commonly used asphalt concrete pavement, so that not only can it carry small electric vehicles, but even medium-sized trucks can drive normally on it; the middle layer is to generate electricity. The original layer - photovoltaic panels, which can absorb sunlight to generate electricity during the idle time of the road; the bottom layer is an insulating layer that isolates the moisture below. In addition, "

Shangguan Muye paused for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Electromagnetic induction coils will be reserved on the road surface to lay the foundation for wireless charging of cars in the future. Moreover, photovoltaic roads can not only generate electricity, but also reserve information ports for future connection. With this kind of information collection equipment, vehicle information, congestion status and other information will become traffic big data and become a part of the smart city!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jun couldn't help but applaud.

It seems that this photovoltaic highway has a lot to do!
However, it may not be easy to build photovoltaic roads, and the requirements for photovoltaic pavement materials are very high.

"Let R&D personnel develop suitable photovoltaic pavement materials first, and then cooperate with the government to lay a section of photovoltaic road for testing."

"OK, all right."

"In this way, the super charging station plan will slow down. Once the photovoltaic road is successful, the demand for super charging stations will decrease."

"clear."

……

Not long after, the Photovoltaic Highway Development Group was established.

Research and development funding exceeds $10 billion.

Zhang Jun does not want to see the photovoltaic road that he has worked so hard to invest in end up being damaged due to material problems. Therefore, Zhang Jun will not build a photovoltaic road until the materials are not qualified.

In the previous life, the photovoltaic road failed repeatedly, the main reason being that the road was seriously damaged.

The R&D team is very passionate about developing photovoltaic highway technology, and every member is full of fighting spirit!With the leading position of China's photovoltaic industry in the world and China's longest highway mileage in the world, photovoltaic highways have great future prospects.Once the relevant technologies are mature, photovoltaic roads will bring about changes in the way of travel in China and even the world! ! !
"The photovoltaic road plan, I feel excited when I think about it. Charging while driving is indeed much more convenient than charging at a charging station!"

"This is a great cause and the future is in our hands!!!"

"The construction cost of photovoltaic roads should be very high. We must find ways to reduce costs while ensuring quality. Only in this way can photovoltaic roads become popular!"

"That's right, that's what we're going to do next!"

"..."

The photovoltaic road plan is very confidential. According to Zhang Jun's speculation, it will not be possible to produce results until next year at least.

Accumulate a wave of technology by yourself first, and only after mastering the technology can you have the right to speak.

What I hate most is others following suit.

Zhang Jun now hates those companies that want to follow him all the time.

……

Summer of 2015.

Zhang Jun came to the northwest.

The Hongqi River project is still not completed, because there are many places where the construction is difficult, so the construction time is very long.

Desert areas are still very short of water.

The magical WaterSeer developed by China Energy Company has finally been successfully developed.

Zhang Jun looked at the WaterSeer in front of him. On the top is a windmill that rotates against the wind, and in the middle is a device like a mushroom tower. The bottom is buried in the soil and is a condensation container that collects water.

"How much water can this WaterSeer absorb from the air every day?" Zhang Jun turned to look at the person in charge of WaterSeer's R&D and asked.

"It can fetch 80 to 100 liters of water a day!!!" The person in charge immediately said proudly upon hearing this.

Zhang Jun couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this.

I thought it would be amazing that this device could draw 40 liters of water per day, but unexpectedly, the amount of water drawn far exceeded my expectation!

"How much is the production cost?" Zhang Jun asked quickly. The production cost of WaterSeer is related to whether it can be popularized in desert areas quickly, and its importance is self-evident.

The person in charge of WaterSeer smiled slightly, "For mass production, the production cost is very low, about 300 RMB."

Only 300 yuan? !

Zhang Jun couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.

If it is so cheap, it can be produced on a large scale, thus solving the short-term water problem.

Moreover, this thing is very much needed in desert countries, especially the oil-producing countries in the Middle East, and they are definitely willing to buy WaterSeer at a high price.

Zhang Jun smiled, feeling that he could make a lot of money...
